I love it!! great job. Would a full-scale electric guitar work just as well, or does a short-scale guitar have an advantage?

[bgmathews]

@Jim5150jvc Thanks! The Tres typically has a similar scale length as a 3/4 size guitar, so a full-scale guitar would end up kinda like a baritone tres. Might be cool! Check out my TresEléctrico channel for more videos and info! youtube dot com slash treselectrico

Hermano me puede asesorar como fue que transformo su guitarra electrica en tres, le agradezco, muchas gracias...!!!

[bgmathews]

@erbandolero20 ¡Hola hermano! El método exacto es, digamos, -secreta profesional-... No obstante, la mayoría de las partes de la guitarra que usted ve en este video son los originales, menos el puente, la pastilla, y la cejilla. La puente es compuesto de selletas de guitarra de 12 cuerdas, ya que el tres lleva cuerdas duplicadas. La pastilla es hecho completamente a mano, y la hago yo aquí en mi taller. La cejilla tambien lo fabrico yo mismo de hueso.

En fin las partes individuas salen muy cara, pero yo hago la transformacion en mi taller y sale mas barato comprar de mi reserva de instrumentos ya hechos. Puedes visitar mi canal TresElectrico para saber mas. Muchas gracias por su interés!

yeah that would be great, Ive been playing the tres for several years now and I really liked the sound of yours...there is one slight problem though, i live in argentina...but ill be in NY in early august. Where are you based and what kind of price range do you forsee for the electric tres with finetuning?

[bgmathews]

@ariansito I am in Indiana. Shipping to NY would be easy, but I cannot say exactly when a production model will be finished, or exactly how much it would cost. It will take some time to get all the details right. How long will you be in NY?

Yes, yes, YEEES!!! You have done a great service to mankind! Gracias, Señor Mathews. I have been looking for something like this for a long time, asking luthiers in my local area if they could build me one, but nobody in my country knows anything about this instrument.

I definitely want one, but before ordering I have a few questions. There is not enough space to ask them here, so I’ll send you an email. Thanks again, and keep on rocking all the nations! :-D
